Steam Hosts Plantation Simulator Video Game that Encourages Players to Whip Black Characters

  • A game titled Plantation Simulator has appeared on Steam, featuring gameplay where users whip enslaved Black people to manage a farm, described by developer FzzyBzzy as a "simple farming simulator where you motivate workers to pick your crops."
  • FzzyBzzy describes itself as the "creator of the worst games known to humanity," suggesting the developer designed the title to troll the public and provoke Black people rather than offer legitimate entertainment.
  • The retro-style game features 16-bit graphics where players whip enslaved workers to maintain farm productivity, with Steam noting "if you whip your black person too much, they will die."
  • Critics argue this release highlights a broader marketplace for white supremacist entertainment on digital storefronts, reflecting a concerning level of comfort with disrespecting Black people that requires consistent public condemnation.
  • If developers released a game featuring public figures like Charlie Kirk, the administration would likely pursue investigations or report it to the FCC, exposing inconsistent standards for racist content across platforms.
